LMG presents: Everybody, All the Time. A Scott C. solo exhibition



London Miles Gallery is proud to present the first European solo show from acclaimed international comic book artist, painter, illustrator, and computer game designer Scott Campbell, aka Scott C. Showcasing more than 100 new original watercolour paintings, ‘Everybody, all the time’ delves deeper than ever before into the American’s mischievous and curious imagination to reveal the artist at his idiosyncratic and playful best. Through a multitude of storyboards and illustrated narratives, Campbell renders his escapist daydreams in the form of often-humorous and light-hearted scenarios featuring intriguing and otherworldly creatures. With one of the Comic Art scene’s leading lights presenting an entirely new body of work, ‘Everybody, all the time’ promises to be an exhibition of high entertainment for Comic Book aficionados, followers, and fans of Pop Surrealism alike.


In June 2009 London Miles presented the hugely successful ‘Supreme Broship’, a joint exhibition of work between Scott C. and Jim Mahfood. We are delighted to welcome back Scott C. for the first of London Miles’ site-specific exhibitions of 2010.

On Thursday 4th March 2010, London Miles welcomes you to join us in east London for the opening reception of ‘Everybody, all the time’ and an evening with the artist Scott C.

The hour and a half workshops will be located at 47 Mowlem Street in east London on the Saturday following the show’s opening.
